Before I ever started fixating on ferritin or iron on TRT, it was 24 and I felt great. So my normal range has to be somewhere in the 20 to 30 range.

I take my Jatenzo consistently. I can take it with or without meals and I don’t notice much of a difference. Sometimes when I’m not hungry, I’ll just drink a bit of avocado oil because it has fats in it. I actually had to stop Jatenzo last night because I have to wait for my ferritin levels to...

I’m not sure where you’re located, but if you’re in the US, I would seriously consider a Jatenzo or Kyzatrex oral testosterone options. I’m a low SHBG guy too, and I do very very well on these therapies. As for your low SHBG, for some men, it’s just genetic, others it’s due to medical...

I just restarted Jatenzo after almost 2 years off therapy. Exactly 2 days in. The progress I thought I made off Jatenzo was due to overdosing on vitamin D, which did increase my testosterone, but left me with side effects of too much vitamin D, not really going to work. Being in a state of...

Jatenzo is the only thing that’s ever worked for me. I’ve always been extremely sensitive to things, I can’t tolerate any vitamins or mineral supplements even in a deficient state. I recover very quickly just from including it back in my diet. Jatenzo is a walk in the park and easy-going. I...

Ask you doctor what is his scientific basis for this suggestion and can he provide you with concrete evidence to back up his claims. If he hesitates in his answer, you have enough information to disregard his suggestion. You should ignore his suggestion anyways because he's confusing the...

Now when I take small amounts of vitamin C (5-10 mg), or vitamin D (300IU) both cause painful cold sores in the mouth, the vitamin C causes the most painful cold sores. The carnivore diet has increased sensitives 100 fold. I can only tolerate vitamin D from eggs or sunlight. Now that I'm not...

New research has revealed that insulin-producing beta cells begin working again in people who are in remission of Type 2 diabetes. This means that if remission is achieved, the insulin-producing capacity of the pancreas can be restored to levels similar to those in people who have never been...

I just had a thought, what if overdosing on vitamin D initially after starting carnivore red meat = lot of iron (Ironman) led to excessive iron absorption and with calcium competing with iron, forced calcium of through the kidneys further exacerbating iron absorption and vitamin D compounding...

I just ate 6 eggs and eyes burn, skin burns. Skin can turn red. Feel groggy and sleepy. I feel high. Sometimes taking calcium helps, but only one or twice then no affect. Sometimes taking vitamin K helps, then no affect after that. I had the same problems with diabetes drugs, a one time...

I figured it out. I had been on 2000 units vitamin D for a year before starting carnivore, no issues, 24 level. A week after starting carnivore I gradually started having these issues. I simply became more sensitive to vitamin D and vitamin C due to normal glucose. I tried mag, made the problem...

I've been on TRT on and off for 10 years, on the longest for solid 6 years, came off and HPTA rebooted very quickly, within 4.5 weeks after stopping injections and 7 days on short acting oral testosterone. Permanent atrophy is unlikely.

AI's can't affect estrogen produced within the testicles, Ai's only affect E2 outside the testicle environment. Some men have struggled to lower estrogen while on hCG.

Hard to tell if your T levels are actually on a steady decline over this period of time. Many things contribute to T production, diet, sleep and even overtraining which will effect T negatively. Your hormones are constantly changing day to day, you'll never repeat the same test twice, because...

The cause is hCG, which is common to see sexual function degrade in some men. The LH receptors weren't meant to be stimulated in a near constant state, LH receptors are meant for pulsatile stimulation. The half-life of LH is 20 minutes, the half-life of hCG is 24-36 hours. Big difference! Some...

If you want to significantly lower or desire zero CAC scores, look no further than the carnivore diet. If you're worried about cholesterol, get this out of you're head! Sugar damages the endothelial walls of the arteries and LDL gets stuck to the arteries. Sugar attaches to proteins and lipids...

Thousands on carnivore report: No bloating No IBS Better gut health A byproduct of fiber is butyrate, which is essential for the suppression of colorectal cancer. On carnivore diet you can get beta hydroxybutyrate from ketones, ketone bodies in the colon, small and large intestine and through...

I have developed calcium deficiency supplementing vitamin D, the higher the dose, the worse the deficiency. I'm trying to figure out how to solve this without having to supplement calcium which is a big no no! Without calcium supplement, vitamin D causes excess urination which leads to...

I had been on TRT for almost 8 years on and off, came off twice and recovered fertility quickly and I'm 24 years older than you. If you take too much zinc, this could act as a aromatase inhibitor and decrease estrogen. You would have to be hyper sensitive to zinc for this to happen. I don't...

The normal ranges have nothing to do with quality of life. Each case is unique, not everyone fits into the same box. Typically people with diseases will be at the bottom 25 percentile, excluding outliers. You should probably sit this one out and start taking notes...

Once every two weeks isn't recommended, suggest you ditch the clueless doctor. This protocol will create large swings in hormones and you'll lack a consistent hormone profile. Also these protocols tend to increase risks of high RBC and hematocrit further complicating treatment. 200 mg every two...

I only responded to oral testosterone. Turns out I didn’t need it. My original health problem was T2 diabetes, which caused iron and vitamin D deficiency. The treatment was TRT! I don’t know how TRT is supposed to correct iron and vitamin D deficiency. If anything, TRT is going make the iron...

What’s your diet, height and weight? Do you exercise on a regular basis? Do you get 8 hours of restful sleep every night?

If you’re serious about trying to fix your hormonal issues without TRT, which I do recommend, I think you might try the carnivore diet. I started two weeks ago and I’ve already lost 7 pounds while changing nothing other than what I eat. I sit for 40 hours a week on my full-time job and work...

I find that when my ferritin levels are low I don’t sleep well and considering TRT lowers ferritin….

You’re severely estrogen dominant. If your C-reactive protein marker is elevated and you use the standard non-sensitive estrogen test it’s going to show a false high value. What’s your height and body weight? Any supplementation, vitamins, minerals, medications or hair loss drugs?

I’ll just eat more steak and keep my body in a state of ketosis. So far the mental benefits are amazing. I put my T2 diabetes in remission in one week without TRT. My glucose levels are static, pre and post meals.

TRT can cause you to burn through vitamins and minerals, better do a complete vitamin and mineral panel. Your problem could also be an inappropriate injection frequency.

Results: The HP group improved their reaction time significantly compared with the UP group. Branched chain amino acids and phenylalanine in plasma were significantly increased following the HP diet, which may explain the improved reaction time. Conclusion: Healthy young males fed a HP diet...

The two largest-ever NIH-funded, multi-center clinical trials (the Women’s Health Initiative and the Minnesota Coronary Survey) where saturated fats were either reduced or replaced by unsaturated fats, on nearly 54,000 men and women, concluded that saturated fats had no effect on cardiovascular...
